It wasn’t like me at all. I had helped these people rebuild their homes, and they looked utterly happy; so I should be happy too, right? However, I didn’t know what to feel.
My rtionship with my parents had significantly improved. They even promoted Francis to be my Beta and treated Tessa like their own. Moreover, they loved and spoiled Ca like the best grandparents in the world. However, it didn’t erase the memories of the struggles I faced trying to seek their approval when I was younger.
rc served as my sanctuary then, and it was also the ce where Tessa found it in her heart to love me again. This ce was special because it taught me that I was worthy of love; and that I should stop chasing what was futile. I guess, the thought of not seeing these people as often made my heart ache a bit.
I had hired human workers for the rehabilitation of this ce and used my own money. They did a pretty good job. I told them to keep the feel of the rural area but make the facilities top- notch. It turned out just the way I liked it, and it seemed the others did, too.
I felt a nudge on my shoulder. I turned to the side and found Sol staring into the distance with a wide smile.
“This ce looks nice,” he said.
I pursed my lips. “Sol,” I said with all due respect. “You can’t even see it.”
He chuckled and shook his head. The two of us chuckled together, making my longing heart feel a bit lighter.
“You’re right,” he said. “Noelle keeps gushing about it, though, so I’m guessing it turned out good.”
I smirked. “You trust her words that much?”
He shrugged, crossing his arms in front of his chest and scanning the area like he had perfect vision. “What can I say? She’s been my eyes for a long time,” he muttered, his gaze suddenly turning wistful.
He didn’t have to say it out loud for me to understand. I patted his back. “You’ll figure it out soon,” I said. “She must still be surprised.”

A smile broke on his lips before he shook his head. “Nah, I understand her, man. She only sees me as a brother. We’ve been raised that way despite not having any actual rted blood. I’ve gotten used to it,”
I pursed my lips. “I thought I wouldn’t be able to have Tessa back in my arms, but look where we are now. I was an utter bastard. I’ve hurt her so much that up until this day, I’m still wondering whether I actually deserve her. However, all I knew was that I couldn’t give up.”
“The thought of not being in her life outweighed the thought of working hard to redeem myself to her.”
I nced at him and saw a weary look on his face. “You haven’t done anything wrong,” I said. “So, just try your best.”
He shook his head. “Easy for you to say, hotshot Alpha.”
“Take my word for it,” I merely said. “But if you don’t want to, that’s fine with me. You’re the one living your life anyway, not me.”
“Gosh, why do you say the coolest things?” he muttered. “Whatever, I’m leaving. I’m going to be decorating my brand new house.”
“Thanks to me,” I teased.
“Yeah, yeah,” he waved me off. “Whatever, Alpha Rowan Wrenmoor!”

Just then, I felt someone hug me from behind. It didn’t even take me a millisecond to register who she was. I turned around and saw Tessa looking up at me with her bright eyes. Gosh, I can never get tired of looking at her. How could someone this pretty be mine?
I turned around and ced my hands on her waist, drawing circles on the prominent dips that gave way to her voluptuous hips. I bit my lip just thinking about it, but I quickly shook my head.
“Are you done helping them?” I asked.
She pped my chest gently, causing my eyebrows to raise in curiosity. “You didn’t tell me that you were rebuilding it to be like this!”
I frowned slightly. “Like what? Is it bad? I told them not to be too excessive with it.”

“I love it, idiot,” she whispered. “It’s actually too much. They’re so happy with the changes. Winston and Edith can’t stop taking photos.”
I chuckled, feeling even lighter. “I’m d they liked it.”
I nced behind and truly saw the happiness radiating from everyone. For a long time, helping others felt like a duty, but I’vee to realize that I wanted to help these people because I truly wanted to help them–nothing else.
I heard Tessa curse under her breath, so I brought my attention back to her. “Are you alright?” I asked right away when I noticed her ufortable expression.
She bit her lip, and my eyes followed the motion. Before I could ask any further, she held onto my hand, the size difference of it making my heart flutter. Then, she started dragging me to the deeper part of the forest, where Owen’s old house was.
“Wait, Tessa,” I said, pulling her back, but she was insistent.
Crap. I wanted to surprise her with this.
We finally arrived, and I couldn’t hold her back any longer.
She paused when she saw that there was another house next to Owen’s–nearly identical but with flowers covering the entire entrance. I pursed my lips when she turned to me with a questioning gaze.
“Owen’s house wasn’t affected by the battle, so I kept it. It holds a lot of memories. I know you love it a lot.”
“I didn’t want to call it ours, though, because at the end of the day, it’s still Owen’s and his father’s. So, I decided to make an exact copy… with Ca flowers surrounding it,” I muttered thest statement.
Was it corny? Probably. But the Ca flowers were so pretty, like our daughter, that I couldn’t help but want to adorn our new house with them.
She didn’t say anything again and just continued dragging me inside the house.
“Keys,” she said.
I paused, not knowing what to make of her reaction. I gave her the keys, and there, a “T” keychain was already attached.
“God, Rowan,” she muttered and shook her head before opening the door. She nearly mmed it open just to get inside. The inside was already furnished. Although the exterior was

nearly identical to that of Owen’s, the interior was a little bit more modern.

She dragged me to the couch and pushed me down on it, taking my breath away. She stood before me with a slight frown before kneeling on the carpet. My eyes widened when she began unbuckling my belt.
“You deserve this,” she said as she removed my belt in one swift motion.
